Taipei, March 31 (CNA) Taiwan has sent out a letter of intent on joining the proposed China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Foreign Affairs Minister David Lin (林永樂) said Tuesday.

The letter of intent was sent at around 7 p.m., Lin said. Tuesday is the last day for interested parties to apply for founding membership of the proposed regional bank.
